You can clearly see that the transfer speed is now over 10 times faster, with the file coming over a gigabit network at almost full speed. I then pasted it onto the guest desktop, with noticeably different results and performance: In the next screenshot, I have mapped a Hyper-V host shared folder on a guest VM, opened it in the guest’s File Explorer, and copied the same ISO image.
Share a drive or folder on the Hyper-V host / remote client, and map it as a network drive on the guest VM / remote host. Instead of using Copy & Paste over tsclient, use shared network drives. Thanks to the slow transfer speed, copying a 4GB ISO image takes close to 10 minutes. In this next screenshot, which shows copying an ISO image from a Hyper-V host and pasting it in a guest VM, you will see that file transfer is slow, with minimal network traffic: Click screenshots to open enlarged in a new tab.Īll file operations between a Hyper-V host and a guest VM, or a remote client and a remote host, are handled by the terminal services client, not done directly over the network.
